Last August the 28th Pip Pyle, the most reputed drummer from the British Canterbury scene, passed away in Paris at the age of 56. He was known for his involvement in numerous jazz rock and progressive rock bands, including Gong, Hatfield and the North and National Health.

For his funeral, to be held in Sawbridgeworth during the next week, Pip Pyle’s children have decided to decorate Pip’s coffin with the type of stickers he used to have on his drum cases. For this purpose, the family has made a call to anyone has any stickers they would like to donate. We have already sent our little contribution with a commemorative sticker on Pip Pyle’s career that we have especially designed for this special occasion. We have been confirmed that it will be placed on his coffin. The copyright of this design has also been given to Pip’s family in case they want to use it for former printings. With this, we want to thank Pip Pyle for so many years of wonderful music.

Designs can also be sent via e-mail to Sam Ellidge at ellidge@bigfoot.com and he will make them into stickers. The family has said that all submissions are welcome, however daft or irreverent, since Pip had a wicked sense of humour and would have liked the idea of people having a bit of a laugh at his funeral.
